Gerson was the main surprise in the second call-up to Fernando Diniz’s Brazilian team, announced this Saturday (23). Although he didn’t call on the midfielder at the first opportunity, the coach was full of praise for the Flamengo player.
‘It’s one of the easiest calls for me’, said Fernando Diniz. In addition to Fluminense’s own athletes, his team, the coach said that Gerson is one of the players he follows most.
‘Gerson has consistently played well, despite the team having fluctuated. He is an above average player and that has to do with what I think about football,’ continued the coach.
Diniz justified maintaining practically the same list as the first call-up: ‘I tried to call up the best possible. And there’s hardly a drastic change’.

GERSON
It’s one of the easiest calls for me, one of the players I’ve seen play the most, apart from those from Fluminense. We played against Flamengo many times, I had to study Flamengo a lot. Gerson has consistently played well, despite the team having fluctuated. He is an above average player and that has to do with what I think about football. Gerson is a very mobile player. He has played as a midfielder, as a midfielder on the left, on the right. He is very technical, strong, and I see a positive change in him over the years. He is combative, competitive, and in the games I watch he is always trying his best to help his team.
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FANS
I believe the emotion has returned. Our participation in Belém was fantastic, the publisher was honored with an excellent game. Aesthetically, it was a very beautiful game for Brazil, and it was a great way to get closer to the fans through the emotion that football provokes in people. We like to win games, and everyone likes to be excited about the team playing well, giving themselves body and soul. It happened in a special way in the game in Belém. We achieved the objective of moving the fans.
RICHARLISON
The technical criteria (weighed in the call). We don’t stop to think, he had some chances and the ball didn’t go in. But he played well, contributed to the team, contributed to marking and hit the walls on the boards. But he didn’t have the luck here in the team, in these two games, to put the ball in. He had appearances that justify his call-up.
BASIS OF SELECTION
I didn’t think much about it. I tried to summon the best possible. And there is hardly a drastic change. It’s been just over two weeks since the second game, and the sample is very small. But the selection is open, with many players with the possibility of being called up. But there is a basis. Not that it is unchanged, it is open to everyone. I will always try to place the best and those who, in my opinion, are capable of winning matches.
NEYMAR IN THE SELECTION
I want him to be the best Neymar possible, and to write the most beautiful pages in his football history. This is extremely possible. We have to enjoy it. It’s always a privilege to have a player like Neymar. It takes a long time for another one to be born. And that he can increasingly enjoy the Brazilian team, which has been his home since 2010. An environment that is good for him, and he is very good for this environment.
LUCAS PAQUETÁ
A player I love, and people here also love him as a person. He conveys that he is an easy person to deal with. We hope everything goes well with him, it’s time to resolve it, I hope it’s close to the end and we can call him up.
VINICIUS JUNIOR
I see him as a great protagonist, protagonist of world football. We don’t understand how it was left off the list of the best in the world. More than an example of a player, he became a great character for society, for everything he went through and the way he defended himself and his cause. In addition to being a player, he is a person who represents a lot to all of us here.
REVIEW OF THE FIRST GAMES
It’s difficult to objectively answer what went wrong and what went right. We had many more positives than negatives. We repeat as much as we can, even if we have little time. In these first movements, the players were impeccable in the way they absorbed the information and put it on the field. Against Bolivia things went positively and coherently. In the Peru game, we expected a different game, with a hostile crowd, a rivalry, a high and dry field. A little tiredness from one match glued to another, and some mistakes. We will be able to improve this, and perhaps one criticism I make of myself is that, in the second game, it took me a long time to change the team.
SIMILAR DYNAMICS
Difficult to answer. We have to prepare. I have no expectations regarding the opponents. What I hope is that we can be consistent, and reproduce our idea of the game and the idea of our football. Brazil didn’t manage to produce much (against Peru), but they are a very respectable opponent, and they didn’t kick a single ball into our goal. We produced against Peru, not as much as against Bolivia, and defensively we were practically impeccable.
NINO AND ANDRÉ
Everyone has a chance to join and be a starter, but they didn’t join because I understood that it wasn’t convenient to include them at the time. But they can come in (next time).
CASEMIRO
An extremely important player, one of the team’s great leaders, and extremely technical. I hope to help him achieve a long life in the national team, more and more, and help in whatever way I can to improve the dynamics of his game. He knows like few others what it’s like to be a steering wheel. He is an ace at the position. The ball passes his foot a lot. In this position, in the teams I manage, the ball passes through the player a lot. And it’s important that you have (his) category and experience.
IS ADRYELSON WATCHED?
Very good cast. In addition to Perri and Adryelson, there are other players monitored. He has not been summoned at this time, but is being monitored. Make a great championship. He is on our long list, like other players.
SELECTION PLANNING
There is a process of enriching information and understanding for players. To talk to the players, strengthen our ties, show videos, and we also trained a lot, so that they arrived at the games well and with an understanding of what we wanted. Whenever possible, we will try to put tactical arrangements in place for players to feel better and play better in matches.
